Best Buy announced Wednesday<\/a> that its CEO, Corie Barry, would be replaced by another executive at the consumer electronics retailer, Chief Customer, Product and Fulfillment Officer Jason Bonfig.<\/p>\n

Bonfig will succeed Barry on Oct. 31, when he will also join the board. Barry will stay on as strategic advisor for six months following Bonfig’s appointment.<\/p>\n

Barry was the first woman to lead Best Buy when she took the role in 2019, and the second-longest-serving CEO after Best Buy Founder Richard Schulze. She was one of 55 female CEOs leading Fortune 500 companies<\/a> in 2025.<\/p>\n

In an interview with CNBC<\/a>, Barry said Best Buy is in a good moment for a transition. She said the company is seeing “an upward swing of momentum” as customer and employee metrics improve and it enters a stage where artificial intelligence has begun to reshape the world of consumer electronics.<\/p>\n

Bonfig will be the sixth CEO in Best Buy’s 60-year history. He first joined Best Buy in 1999 as an inventory analyst.<\/p>\n

Total Retail’s Take:\u00a0<\/strong>The leadership change comes amid stagnant sales for Best Buy. According to CNBC, the price of the company’s stock was $65.52 when Barry first started seven years ago, and peaked at $138 in November 2021. On Tuesday, shares closed at $66.59. The company’s annual revenue fluctuated between $42.9 billion in 2019 to a peak of $51.8 billion in 2022. Best Buy said during its earnings call in March that it expects revenue to range between $41.2 billion and $42.1 billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
